Psalms 135

1 Praise ye the name of the Lord: O you his servants, praise the Lord:

Hallelujah! Praise the name of Jehovah; praise, ye servants of Jehovah,

2 You that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.

Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of the house of our God.

3 Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good: sing ye to his name, for it is sweet.

Praise ye Jah; for Jehovah is good: sing psalms unto his name; for it is pleasant.

4 For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself: Israel for his own possession.

For Jah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, Israel for his own possession.

5 For I have known that the Lord is great, and our God is above all gods.

For I know that Jehovah is great, and our Lord is above all gods.

6 Whatsoever the Lord hath pleased he hath done, in heaven, in earth, in the sea, and in all the deeps.

Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, he hath done in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps;

7 He bringeth up clouds from the end of the earth: he hath made lightnings for the rain. He bringeth forth winds out of his stores:

Who causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; who maketh lightnings for the rain; who bringeth the wind out of his treasuries:

8 He slew the firstborn of Egypt from man even unto beast.

Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast;

9 He sent forth signs and wonders in the midst of thee, O Egypt: upon Pharao, and upon all his servants.

Who sent signs and miracles into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants;

10 He smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:

Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings,

11 Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan.

Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;

12 And gave their land for an inheritance, for an inheritance to his people Israel.

And gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people.

13 Thy name, O Lord, is for ever: thy memorial, O Lord, unto all generations.

Thy name, O Jehovah, is for ever; thy memorial, O Jehovah, from generation to generation.

14 For the Lord will judge his people, and will be entreated in favour of his servants.

For Jehovah will judge his people, and will repent in favour of his servants.

15 The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of men’s hands.

The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:

16 They have a mouth, but they speak not: they have eyes, but they see not.

They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;

17 They have ears, but they hear not: neither is there any breath in their mouths.

They have ears, and they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth.

18 Let them that make them be like to them: and every one that trusteth in them.

They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.

19 Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.

House of Israel, bless ye Jehovah; house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah;

20 Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.

House of Levi, bless ye Jehovah; ye that fear Jehovah, bless Jehovah.

21 Blessed be the Lord out of Sion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem.

Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem! Hallelujah!
